Re: [tycho-user] FW: Steps before deprecating eclipse-update-site
|
Are we done with THE BIG RENAME? If so, let me merge 342637 to master,
branch 0.12.x and stage both 0.12.0 and 0.11.1. We need to branch before
any new development starts.
As for eclipse-update-site, I believe it is quite different from
eclipse-repository. First, update sites only include "included"
dependencies, i.e., m2e update site only includes m2e features/bundles
but does NOT include m2e dependencies. Second, update sites can include
multiple versions of the same feature, i.e., m2e 0.10.0, 0.12.0, 0.12.1
and 0.12.2 can all be included in the same update site. Based on our
Eclipsecon discussion, I believe new repository descriptor format is
required before these can be supposed by eclipse-repository packaging.

With eclipse-repository becoming more mature and more complete, I
believe it is time to get rid of the duplication of packaging types
for building p2 repositories in Tycho. As a first step, we should
mark eclipse-update-site as deprecated, once eclipse-repository can
be used in all supported cases.
I currently only know case where using eclipse-repository is not yet
possible: if the target platform is defined via
pomDependencies=consider [1]. This issue should be resolved soon; we
are planning to work on this from next week. After this we will
replace eclipse-update-site by eclipse-repository in the Tycho
integration tests - to be sure that everything is covered.
Do you know of additional cases where eclipse-repository is lacking
functionality or is not suited for your needs? If yes, please create
bugs or enhancement requests and link them to the umbrella bug for
the eclipse-update-site deprecation [2]. If you have more general
concerns, we can also discuss them here.
